Simple Question: Resizing:

hey folks,
i know how to create a window using create and giving it a rectangle region:

<br />
Create(NULL, "Windows Application", WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,<br />
      CRect(120, 100, 700, 480), NULL);<br />

but how do I change the rectangle region...
I mean clicking on a button and resizing the window to half or stuff (better to a Rectangle I calculate)???

I know it's simple but couldn't find a link
thx in advance

well now I Found
MoveWindow
to SetThatRegion but all I get is a "Debug Assertion Failed!"...
I actually wanted to to resize a subelement of my DialogClass. So I did a movewindow in my Dialog::OnSize(...) method.

I guess the error comes from the initialization where there isn't any SubElement (although it's initialized but maybe not visible?)
because
GetWindowRect also fails with the same assertion failed

Hi,

another way to do this is to change the CSize into ChildFrm.cpp in the function PrecreateWindow ()

For xample: i make different window sizes depending of the parent element of the window

BOOL CChildFrame::PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs)
{	if( !CMDIChildWnd::PreCreateWindow(cs) )
		return FALSE;

	//Set the configuration for the NewViews
	CMDIChildWnd* pMDIActive = MDIGetActive();
	CDocument* pDoc = pMDIActive->GetActiveDocument();

	if ((pDoc) && (pDoc->m_szNewFrameName != ""))
	{	cs.style = WS_SYSMENU | WS_CAPTION | WS_OVERLAPPED;

		if (pDoc->m_pObject1 || pDoc->m_pObject2)
		{	cs.cx = 415;		cs.cy = 260;	}
		else if (pDoc->m_pObject3->m_nType == 0)
		{	cs.cx = 517;		cs.cy = 421;	}
		else if (pDoc->m_pObject3->m_nType == 2)
		{	cs.cx = 610;		cs.cy = 435;	}

		cs.lpszName = pDoc->m_szNewFrameName;
	}
	return TRUE;
}

With this I put the caption of the new view according to the name of the element and some other parameters, and the size according to the type of the element.

Greetings.

I have built a program which generates a tree, and allows the user to perform searches for a number entered by the user.

I want to display the tree in a graphical format as well as the available searches.

How can I convert my program to an MFC application? Or what do I add?

This project is a console application.

I'm confused.

thanks in advance.

How to Get the caption of a menu item

17-May-07 5:20

Converting a console application to a GUI application is a little more involved than just changing compiler switches, or linking with different libraries. The whole UI will need to be redesigned. Your code to generate the tree should remain the same, unless you've done something to it that ties it to a console application.

What exactly do want the GUI to look like?

just a menu for the user to select a search algorithm and then display the tree along a search path.

I am trying to validate a user on a local system which is not conneced to a network... (Whose domain will be WORKGROUP)

I have already tried using LogonUser given in microsoft site.

Any other alternative is appreciated... Cry | :((

This works for me:

HANDLE hUserToken;
if (::LogonUser(_T("Mark"), _T("."), _T("**mypassword**"), LOGON32_LOGON_NETWORK, LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAULT, &hUserToken))
{
   ::CloseHandle(hUserToken);
}

Does the user you are using have an account on the local computer?

Hi all,

I have developed an application. It has a button on the form. When i click on the button, it executes another application using CreateProcess() and another window (application) pops up infront of the former window.
Here i can activate any of the window.
Can anyone please tell me how to disable the first window until i click OK or Cancel of second window?

If by pressing Ok or Cancel your second app will exit, then you can get the HANDLE value returned from CreateProcess, disable your current window content and call WaitForSingleObject(HANDLE..) to wait until the second application exits.

CreateProcess() also fills a PROCESS_INFORMATION struct which contains handles to the created
process and main thread (did you know you need to close those when you don't need them?).
You can use the hProcess member of that struct in a wait function.
